Let’s hope it’s better than the opening ceremony!

Starts at 7 pm on BBC 1.

Alex Yee will be carrying the GB flag.

In Atlanta, they just bussed them all out @Mojodojocasahous for the duration of the Games so I imagine they'll do similar in LA sadly (rather than properly sorting things!)

Oh defo. Poor buggers

Was hoping to see Christine and the queens. They'd have been good.

I was looking at him and thinking "Barry Manilow?"

Barry Manilow, arguably looks better than Tom Cruise these days.

2028 may feature President Trump and family. 😐

Its better than shooting them.

(I only half joke here).

Andrew Cotter did a grand job, Hazel Irvine not so much.

God, can you imagine? He’d be trying to claim all the medals for himself

RedToothBrush · 11/08/2024 23:08

Michael Johnson blurting out all the secrets and RUINING the idea that it was live.

So why not sing it in French?

was my second sentence unclear?

Raahh · 11/08/2024 23:08

Michael made his way back quick.

Magic Mike.

Yep President Trump will want to bring a '36 vibe to procedings.

Catherine introduced the singer by saying someone I'm sure you'll all recognise Grin er?

He's been filled and stretched. I prefer to remember TC like this:

Didn't that wanker BoJo come down in a harness or something and spaff on about piffpaffball or whatnot?

The harness thing was in London (don't think it was connected to the Olympics). But he was at the Beijing handing over ceremony as I recall him waving the Union Jack.

tobee · 11/08/2024 23:10

Like the fireworks

IcedPurple · 11/08/2024 23:10

LaeralSilverhand · 11/08/2024 23:08

was my second sentence unclear?

Why the aggressive response?

This wasn't part of the 'handover'. This was the grand finale of the Paris Olympics.

We'd just had several songs sung in English. Why not a French song to say au revoir?

Willmafrockfit · 11/08/2024 23:11

jest ne regret rien?

JaneJeffer · 11/08/2024 23:11

Ooh matron

Bruisername · 11/08/2024 23:11

je ne regrette rien would have been perfect

Willmafrockfit · 11/08/2024 23:12

well if my way was originally french and a hit in america it sounds perfect!

tobee · 11/08/2024 23:12

Johnson was in Beijing handover in his capacity as mayor of London iirc?

Magic Mike.

He does have medals

RedToothBrush · 11/08/2024 23:05

It not like France is known for its great modern music in fairness.

Its known for food and art. But not pop music.

Only someone with very little interest in music would say this.
